Reminds me of the foul ball that the dad caught...gave to his little son...and the boy threw the ball back onto the field.

Journalism 101: The five "W"s...Who...What...When...Where...and WHY. You left us hanging, Jesus.

Yep. Thinking the same thing.

I thought IBM already accomplished this with "Watson" cleaning everyone's clocks on Jeopardy.

I agree with you, Nate. We *should* correct grammar and spelling...INCLUDING the comments of posters. It might actually help us appear to be educated people. That said, punctuation goes *inside* quote marks. (Unless it's a colon or semicolon.) And, no...I'm not trying to be clever. I hope people correct my…

Surprised it wasn't a Shih Tzu, Shiba Inu or Akita. Those Asians are the WORST drivers!

You would think the Ilitches would do SOMETHING with all the vacant properties they're sitting on...thus preventing *any* form of investment by anyone else...and essentially holding the city (and region) hostage.

My wife and I are from a nice suburb of Detroit — though we now live in Colorado. When people ask us where we're from, she says, "Plymouth, Michigan" — and I say "Detroit." It doesn't matter because no one knows the state, anyway. So I just hold up my right hand, and point to the middle part of my thumb muscle.

YES! Besides...negativity just makes the city look like crybabies. Consider Kazakhstan's response to Borat. Would've been better had they embraced the film and used it to pitch positive messages about the country. ("Our prostitutes are much better looking than those featured.")

Love the Deer Hunter reference. But I like the Robocop statue idea. As a former Detroiter, I think we should play up our city's toughness. Also wouldn't hurt to take down a few rotten politicians who've screwed the city and the region.

Kane is creative. Energetic. Sees possibilities and makes plays that most players don't. Hossa is like my senile, decrepit grandfather (before he died).

The "real" ones were no better. Gee...this is the best the Dutch can muster?

There's no way a guy without a penis can have an orgasm.

Patrick Kane is fun to watch. And I'm no Blackhawks fan. Hossa is fun to watch, too. But not for the same reasons.

Agreed. That was an asshole thing to say.

Really? Neither of the world wars were Americans' choice. In fact, most of the populace was against getting involved. Seems to me that we're often sought out by other nations as the big brother protector. That said, the Iraq/Afghanistan wars really do seem perpetrated by Dick Chaney and the Bush gang.

My dad served in the European Theater with the 69th Infantry. He virtually never spoke of the horrors. Only one: Remembering a fellow soldier who lifted his head too high and was shot through the helmet and killed. Other recollections were peripheral to the conflict. But he suffered with PTSD for the rest of his life…

Very cool. Thank you.

Here's another one: It took the world 66 years (!) to go from *not* leaving terra firma (i.e., before flight) to walking on the moon.

That is awesome. And pretty much how we raised our two girls...elevating their self confidence to a level where neither would ever be in a situation in which the guy says, "If you loved me..."
